I received my Lent/Easter issue of the Preacher's Mag. today. Over a quite lunch in the back of a local resturant with a window seat next to the river and so many birds at the feeders on the other side of the glass, I read through most of this issue. Personally I find this one of the best issues I have seen since this current format came out. I am so glad they got things organized enough to get such issues to us far enough ahead that we have time to work with it in the current year. This issue is going to be very helpful in the coming Christian calendar of my leadership of my congregation.
I really enjoyed Oswald Chamber's aritical: "Have I To Forgive My Enemies?" A quote there is very insightful: "The distinctive things about Christianity is forgiveness---not sanctification or my holiness, but forgiveness---the greatest miracle God ever performs through the Redemption." Nowhere in this article or in the Word are we told to dismiss sinful behavior, etc., but I sure am glad for a redemption that can set us from sinful behaviors, etc.
Stan Toler's article: "Dinner Without Silverware: Why I preach A Stewardship Series," has much food for thought. I enjoyed th article. Having met Stan Toler and heard him teach a few times, I have come to appreciate his spirit and his insights.
Anyway, it would be interesting to hear what are some of your thoughts as you read this issue. There are some things here that could provide fodder for some good discussion.
